95% emission saving with SATTLER-RE luminaires
The ClimatePartner certificate compares new and refurbished luminaires of the PALADIO series
On behalf of Sattler GmbH, ClimatePartner has calculated the carbon emissions for the product PALADIO, in line with the „Greenhouse Gas Protocol Product Life Cycle Accounting and Reporting Standard“ (GHG Protocol).
The Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) was calculated using the „Cradle-to-customer plus End-of-life” approach. Emissions along the following life cycle phases were taken into account:
- Extraction and pre-processing of raw materials,
- Packaging
- Production
- Delivery of the product to the customer's factory gate and
- relevant disposal emissions of the product and packaging.
In the “cradle-to-customer plus end-of-life” approach, the focus of the calculation is on the processes that can be controlled by the producer. In the case of emissions from the use phase, this is often only the case to a limited extent. In addition, these are subject to assumptions and estimates in the application, they were therefore not taken into account in the calculation.
Where possible, primary data was used in the calculation. Where this was not possible, secondary data from recognised sources was used. The underlying emission factors were taken from internationally recognised databases such as ecoinvent or GEMIS. All relevant greenhouse gases were considered, but for better comparability CO₂ equivalents were used.
Emissions that cannot be directly attributed to the product but are necessary for production, such as employee travel or business trips, were also included in the calculation as common emissions.
95% CO₂ emissions saved
Set reduction targets
Our goal is to continuously reduce emissions. Here, too, we consider the entire product life cycle. In our planning, we pursue short-, medium- and long-term goals. We try to implement all measures that can be implemented immediately. Nevertheless, it is a continuous process and an important part of our corporate strategy.
Reduction measures
There are generally several approaches here:
- Through good product design (eco-design) and an associated reduction in materials
- Aiming for higher energy efficiency in production,
- the regional procurement of raw materials and
- the avoidance of unnecessary packaging
emissions are avoided even before they occur.
